Not getting any younger but definitely getting less mature

Timeline is full of Nazis and awful trends despite me mostly following writers and artists. I guess it's time to go.

Last night I ate my first 3-D constructed steak, made entirely from plants, at the great Chouchou restaurant in Stockholm. It's astonishing. The texture's exactly right and the taste is excellent.
This is *before* we have precision fermented proteins, encapsulated fats and heme.

My first Brocken Spectre. Creepy to see it out the corner of my eye and think it was someone else moving

Also, on this, the 25th anniversary of STARSHIP TROOPERS, let us all remember that Dizzy was too good for Johnny Rico.

@PythonMaps There's a nice tool here from the UK forestry commission which details canopy cover. I wonder if there might be data you could use for something interesting https://t.co/dYmZyN7scM

So the final figures are in! Yesterday, wind generated 20896MW in the 12:30 settlement period. That's OVER HALF (53%) of all of GB's electricity. Overall, it was a VERY green day - 70% of energy was zero carbon (Nuclear, Wind, Hydro, Solar & Storage)🌬️🍃🇬🇧🥳#netzero #energy

@StuartHumphryes Don't envy his supper. Pike is a very boney fish. Looks like a he has some stories to tell though.

When a lettuce outlasts a Prime Minister, we have truly reached the endive days

[Aldi Stores UK @AldiUK]

What a great day to be a lettuce

[Roger Martin @Subtlydone]

Went looking for Shrooms today. Was not disappointed, there were so many Amanita's. Never seen that many. Some huge ones too.

Joke making rounds: “Apparently @KwasiKwarteng had trouble getting a seat on the plane because no one wanted him near business OR economy.”

Worst. Calendar. Ever

[Roger Martin @Subtlydone]

Just measured my Kiftsgate Rose. It started growing in march from a bare root planted in November last year. It's grown 14 feet in total so far (8 up and 6 along the roof!) which I reckon is almost an inch and a half a day, what an amazing Rose! @DAustinRoses

Weird how I'm not allowed to wild camp in the New Forest but I could theoretically set up a economic city state with reduced legislation and environmental protections for trade there.

The Tripitaka Koreana - carved on 81258 woodblocks in the 13th century - is the most successful large data transfer over time yet achieved by humankind. 52 million characters of information, transmitted over nearly 8 centuries with zero data loss - an unequalled achievement. 1/

Your periodic reminder that the limits on seismic activity from fracking projects were not imposed just because tremors might annoy people, but because they can threaten well integrity.

Order from chaos using the power of sound

This is artist Kenichi Kanazawa producing geometric patterns with only sound as a tool

Ok, I’ve got the phrase‘reverse engineering’, now I just need to work out a joke around it.
